to carry out all the orders of Allah. The Prophets always tried to
save men from disobeying Allah and from doing all evil deeds
being instigated by the saitan. The Prophets always tried their
utmost to turn people from the path of Allah's displeasure and
from the acts in the instigation of Saitan. Often the messengers
of Allah were victims of ill behaviours and unbearable tortures
in the hands of selfish, savage and characterless people. Even
many of them became martyrs at the hand of unbelievers while
preventing people from doing improper acts. Still they
continued to call the people to the right path and never stopped
from their mission.

The aims of the teaching of the Prophets and messengers are
as follows:

1. Tawhid or (Onenes of Allah) : Allah is One. He has no
   partner. Nobody is equal to Him.


2. Risalat and Nabuat : Through the Prophets and
   Messengers messages of Allah had reached mankind.


3. Deen : Deen, the way of life given by Allah.


4. Akhlaq : Decent character.


5. Shari'at : Code of life which contained the teachings about
   Halal and Haram (permissible and prohibited) and
   applicable and non-applicable in religious points of view.


6. Akhirat : life after death.
